I try to install ns-2.35 all-in-one package on my Ubuntu 12.10

I type "./configure" and then "make" in folder "tcl-8.5.10" and folder "tk8.5.10"

There is no make error.

But when I enter folder otcl-1.14 and type "./configure" it shows an error:

Please correct the problem by telling configure where tcl is
using the argument --with-tcl=/path/to/package
(perhaps after installing it),
or the package is not required, disable it with --with-tcl=no.

And when I enter tclcl-1.20 and type "./configure" it shows an error too:

What can I do? I have already done "./configure + make" in the tcl folder.

Can anyone give me a suggestion? Thanks a lot!

Try using the flag ./configure --with-tcl-ver=8.5 (or 8.4 in case you have 8.4 installed)... worked for me.
